I’ve been laughing WAY too hard at these new tote bags. And the first Dungeon Crawler Carl-themed journals came today, complete with hilarious Big Boy Boxers magnetic bookmarks. 🧩Also! I finally got a few smaller-size puzzles back in stock, for those who prefer not to take on 1000 pieces and up (like me).

Friends! Another question for you!

How do you feel about bookshop cats? Do you love them? Do they annoy you? Would you be delighted to find a furry friend lounging in the bookshop, or mortified? Let me know that your thoughts are!

FINALLY! I was able to find a few good Lit RPG series that aren’t exclusive to Amazon AND aren’t Dungeon Crawler Carl 😆. (Although don’t get me wrong, we love us some Carl!)

The Divine Dungeon and Full Murderhobo series by Dakota Krout both look like wild reads, and I’m so thrilled to have them on the shelf. Hoping to add his other series in time. And I’ll continue to hunt for more!

The first shipment of Spanish books for kids arrived today! Including a middle-grade chapter book 🙂

Today I officially started a new tiny section: the no-spice romantasy shelf! These whimsical tales all offer you a romantic adventure without any explicit scenes. This section is small for now, but I’ll be continuing to fill it in over time. So be sure to check back now and then! ❤️

Bookshop hours are Tues-Sat 10am-6pm

Question for you, friends!

Would anyone be interested in a “Learn the Basics of Book Edge Painting” event at the bookshop? If so, comment below!

It would be for a relatively small group, probably no more than 15 or 20 participants at a time (due to limited space to set up tables, in the bookshop.) You would bring your own plain-edged hardcover book of your choice (can even be a journal!), and you would probably need to bring your own clamps. I would try to provide as much of the other supplies as I can. (Water color paints, brushes, wood pieces for clamping the books between, etc. Let me know what you think! If there’s enough interest I could possibly repeat the event a few times.

Thanks!

I was so thrilled to unbox my first shipment of bilingual English-Chinese children’s books today! These adorable titles from Lychee Press (Mina Learns Chinese - A bilingual Chinese/English kids book series) are perfect for English-speaking kids who are learning Mandarin Chinese. The author and owner of Lychee Press, Katrina Liu, is also an indie author! Be sure to check out her page! She even has free audio versions of some titles, for parents who may not be able to read/speak Chinese themselves but want to support their child’s language learning. I’ve also got two adorable titles in Chinese only that teach about the seasons and the earth’s night-day cycle.

Many of you who live right in and around Forest Lake know about the highly-rated immersion school we have here, where kids in grades K-12 can earn their standard education while also becoming proficient in either Spanish or Mandarin Chinese. Several staff members and parents of students have mentioned to me how difficult it has been for them to find good bilingual Chinese books for the kids. (As a Chinese-speaking parent myself, I’ve had the same experience.) I hope I can help solve that problem!

Now I’ll be shifting my focus to finding a few good English-Spanish picture books 😊

And thank you Lakes International Language Academy for being such a great part of our community!

Bookshop hours are Tues-Sat 10am-6pm.

A few days after her big move, Nayru the Sea Squish is finally beginning to feel at home in the bookshop! And the way guests react to her makes my day every time ❤️😆

Today I want to spotlight a fabulous indie nonfiction author, William Charles. His first book, The Poverty Line, tells the emotional tale of the struggles he faced while growing up in Haiti. And his latest title is an exploration of how to allow life’s “dead ends” help us reach our greatest potentials.

Bookshop hours are Tuesday-Saturday 10am-6pm!

I know this will be a daily sight for me once Minnesota’s long winter nights return, but it was still cool to see our sign lit up at night for the first time, when we stopped by a few evenings ago! 🌕 (Of course, those of you who live nearby have probably seen it many times when driving along 97 or visiting the gas station in the evenings!)

Bookshop hours are Tuesday-Saturday 10am-6pm!
